Hi everyone! So, I'm writting from the town house, where having Internet is a miracle. I arrived yesterday, after -finally- picking my luggage on the airport (yay!!). I'll stay here until next week, then, I'll return Valencia on the weekend, to prepare my things and stuff to Mallorca!

The life here is quiet... But very boring! Also, it's raining outside, so, that means no beach, no bicycle, no walking. How I spend my time here, then? Taking pictures, thinking on some next outfits, and doing DIY crafts. I'm just finishing the lace shorts I've talked to you about on other post.

I'm making a little DIY tutorial in case you want to make a pair. It's very easy, and they look lovely! :)

Hi guys! I'm sorry I couldn't post this before, but today I've been to the town house with my family since the early morning, and I have no Internet there, so I couldn't write anything.

Also, as you know, my luggage (with my laptop charger) is lost (I think they've already found it, or at least it seems so, but we have to wait until they call...) so, I've been using the other laptop, which is more difficult to carry wherever.

I'm very, very sorry because I didn't tell you anything about my arrive to Spain, my flight, etc.

But, I have had a problem I hadn't never had: Iberia (the flight company) has lost my luggage. ALL MY LIFE was in that bags. My Steve Madden Boots. My A&F stuff. The gifts for my friends... And part of my summer wardrobe. So yesterday, when we arrived and we realized it, we knew the nightmare had only started. We know anything about the things, and we hope they appear soon, but, my mum's looking for all the tickets of the things I had there (also, my bag with all my makeup products, my eyeliners, my Rouge Coco, EVERYTHING, was there!) in case it doesn't appear and we'll have to ask for a compesation (we've been doing some calculations, and, at least, I was carrying 1500$ there: my clothes, my hair straightener, my makeups, my phone and camera chargers, at least four pair of shoes, the things I bought there, and the bag itselft, which was new!)

Also, I spent all yesterday sleeping and when not, depressed, so I couldn't see the blog. I saw some comments on Barajas' Madrid Airport with my cellphone (thanks, thanks to all!) and I could answer some of them.

But, I'm in Spain right now, at least, I'm safe and alive (who knows? sometimes they lose luggages, sometimes the plane crashes...) and I promise I'll show you tomorrow my today's outfit, and I'll start again uploading stuff to LB.nu

Now that ''Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II'' has been released, it's like its young celebrities are in everybody's talk. I'm sure you know about Hermione, Gryffindor's wizard and maybe the most intelligent girl in Howarts School of Magic and Wizardy. But... What about Emma Watson, the actress who gave life to this brown haired, stressed but sweet and strong girl on the movies? Today, I'm going to talk you about her street style, because I think she's got one of the best young celebrities style of this last years. She even starred as Burberry Prorsum campaign image, being the face of classy and atemporal style.

Since her start at the Harry Potter saga until now, almost 10 years ago since then, everybody's has seen her grow up from a little British girl to one of the best dressed at every event she takes part at, and a professional street style teacher and it-girl from head to toe.

Her red carpet looks are breathtaking but really easy, without complications, with no opportunity to give any misstep. Her street style is as easygoing and fresh as her looks at big events, and here I'm going to show you how only pairing some pieces you can achieve Emma Watson's looks.

So... Last post from Boston... Awwwn, I'm going to miss this very, very much, although I want to return there, see my family and friends and tell them all the adventures I've lived here. We're leaving tomorrow at 15:30PM, and we'll arrive Madrid next day at 6:00AM. Eight hours on the flight, and six hours of time difference! It's crazy. As you can see, I've already done my luggage and my bags are totally prepared (since the last time I told you, they became messy again...), today I didn't go out because of that. Also it's cloudy outside, so I wasn't on the mood to do anything. It seems it's going to rain again.

When I arrive Valencia, I want to show you all the things I've bought here: my Red Sox t-shirt, a pair of new heels, my dresses and t-shirts from Abercrombie and American Eagle... Also, I'll try to upload new outfits, because here I haven't got any time for taking pictures of them. Then, on August 8 I'm leaving again to Mallorca! :)

So, tomorrow, while I'm on the plane, there's a programmed post I wrote yesterday. Finally, I'm going to show you some pictures of our last trip downtown with my friend María. We went to Quincy Market, and there was a car exhibition. I'm sure my dad will love those pictures.

Today I'm very happy :) Yesterday I went downtown to Boston -again- with my friend Maria, for some shopping and walking there (I finally got my Red Sox t-shirt!), we went to the Hard Rock Café, we took lots of pictures, and she finally stayed here overnight. It was fun! We cooked some dinner, we watched the baseball game together, we saw a movie (Wildchild, haha!) and we talked a lot about school, boys, almost everything... Girl's night out!

Little black dress or little white dress? Both of them are the best idea ever when you're on the go, have little time to think what to wear or even run out of ideas for that important event. A true fashionista would never have enough little black dresses, since there's not only ONE LITTLE BLACK DRESS option, but lots of them depending on your complexion, height, shape or personal preferences. There's no need to freak out: there's always the perfect "LBD" for every kind of body and situation, and the infinite ways to wear it make little black dresses (and white as well, but we'll talk about it later) makes it the definitive, key piece on any woman's wardrobe.

The little black dress is usually medium-length, above the knee and strapless. However, LBDs can be one-shoulder, V-neck, A-line, pencil skirt (or whatever shape you can think about) too. So, since it's so difficult to chose one style, there's some ideas to look for when styling your LBD (or LWD) outfit. Celebrities like Emma Watson, Eva Longoria or Renee Zellweger styled their own outfits on a super chic and elegant way, all of them wearing their hair into updos.

It's proven that LBDs are a basic piece because you can wear them with almost anything: from fluor colors, to print accessories, on a formal or more casual way. It's the iconic, timeless dress you can see Audrey Hepburn wearing at Breakfast at Tiffany's. I personally showed you twice how to style it too.

Yesterday I went downtown for last minute shopping, do some sightseeing and taking pictures to show our families back in Spain. We're leaving the States Tuesday afternoon, so we should start doing our luggage. I didn't have to buy anything else, because I already found all the gifts and souvenirs I wanted to, and bought some things for me as well.

Want to see some of the shopping I've been doing? Some of you who already know me from Lookbook.nu or my last blogs, will know that I'm an absolutely addict to flag stuff. Specially the UK and the USA flags, I don't know why, but I like the combination of blue, red and white.

So, one of the most rare things I found related to flags, and which I totally had to buy were those flag stereo headphones with the flag. The ones I brought with me from Spain died a few days ago, and without the possibility at all of hearing to some musics while taking the subway, this were a nice idea. One of my friends encouraged me to get them.And also these silky scarves I finally found on a little store! After walking half Massachusetts and going mad searching for this kind of accessory, I finally found those two different flag scarves. I bought both of them, one as a gift for my mum, and the other one for me to keep it. They were half their price so, they were a nice bargain!

And finally, so you can trust me about the flag-diction I suffer from, I will be leaving you with some outfits I've been sharing at my account at Lookbook.nu

So, here's what I've been up to the last two days of unstoppable window shopping, but about the last two years of online search. A pair of laced booties. Here's a little comparative of the two different models I've been looking for, although I finally bought the Steve Madden, "Troopa" ones (left) I talked to you about yesterday.

Steve Madden's were 99$

Forever 21 were about 30$

I think, now I wouldn't think twice about it: I would chose the Steve Madden ones again. The Forever 21 were faux leather, while the Steve Madden ones are real, thick leather, and I like their quality and the shine effect on them. The color will match my coming winter outfits, with green pants (with some military style) or casual jeans. Perfect for High School, where I must be standing and walking on the halls for hours, and hours. Sometimes, investing a little more in your shoes is worth the purchase. Investing in better quality means no only acquiring a better design and comfort, but also you will be able to wear them for years.

It's still too warm outside to wear them, so by the moment I'll be only showing you a sneak peak of the "Troopa" laced booties.

Today I had plans on going downtown to Newbury Streetto look for the laced booties I talked to you about . I saw a pair I really liked at Forever 21 on Friday, and today they were totally missing. Happens at sales period, ouch. I finally bought a pair at Steve Madden, which looked much better than the Forever 21 I missed. Maybe I'll show you my pair of laced booties soon!

Anyway, today wasn't all disaster, and I finally could find some souvenirs and gifts for my family and friends in Spain. My mum is a scarf addict, and she asked me to bring her a scarf with a print of the United States flag, which I finally found after two weeks of fashion hunting.

Finally, after my three crazy hours downtown (I think right now I'm the ''Boston's Newbury Street'' expert) I went to Crystal Lake at the town of Newton, where I'm currently living with my host family, and where I had a really pleasant afternoon!

Today was one of the most exhausting days I've lived on the States. We went really early in the morning on a group trip with the rest of the students to the Plimoth Plantation, to see their alive museum and learn more things about this country and Massachusetts. It was so warm and sunny in there that I actually didn't pay much attention, but only tried to breathe and keep walking.

As I said on yesterday's post, we were also visiting this Wrentham's Outlet Village. I had never been on a similar place, with so many high brand discount shops! I saw tons of things I liked, but none of the thing I've been looking for since I've been here: a pair of laced boots. On my last visit to Newbury Street and the shopping area downtown I saw a pair I liked, but I finally didn't buy them because I wasn't sure enough about their shape and color.

My mates at the student group bought tons of things and carried lots of bags! I decided to wait and invest only on the boots I've been looking for so much time! Because I didn't buy anything today, tomorrow I'll be visiting downtown again. Maybe I'll go to this skyscraper named Prudential Center and it's shopping center. I love that building!

I would also love going to Quincy Market too and having lunch there... There're plenty of sweets and treat stands I would love to taste!

Today was an exhausting day! I went for some sightseeing downtown with some of the course friends. We went to the zoo, which seemed huge for me! I've never seen so many animals and paths around a zoo in my life. After the zoo, we're on our own around Newbury Street for lunch and some shopping. I actually discovered downtown and the shopping area a few days ago, when I made a mistake on the subway station and stopped there. Now everybody jokes on me, because I spend most of my mornings discovering Boston that way, and somehow I've became a total expert walking the city. Because, what's the fun part on traveling with a done beforehand route and a map?

As I go on my own a big part of the time, I'm still not sure what I'll be showing you apart than sightseeing pictures and details of Boston I take with my little camera. Tomorrow there's a planned trip to the town of Plymouth and maybe we'll be shopping at the Wrentham's Outlet Store. Bargain time! But by now, I'll be leaving you with some of the outfits I shot for my Lookbook.nu account and which were uploaded before I came here.

Hello world! My name is Amanda Ramón, and Something Fashion is my 9th attempt on creating a blog and keeping it.

I'm natural from Valencia, a medium sized city near the Mediterranean sea, in Spain. But this blog has been born in Boston, US, where I'm currently spending three weeks of my summer time, because of an English immersion course I'm taking.

Something Fashion has been born due to the need of sharing with the world lots of new experiences for me: my first time visiting this country, where I've been living since the past 5th July and also the need of talking about what I'm most passionate about, which is fashion. I'm not sure on how I will be managing this blog, what I'll be talking about or how the experience will end, but what I'm really sure is that is going to be an amazing experience, and that I'm really excited on sharing it with you!

By the moment, all I can tell you is how mesmerizing is Boston to me: although it doesn't seem like a huge city to me, it has lots of things we don't have in Valencia, like clothing brands made in USA stores, baseball matches (I recently experienced one live thanks to my host family, and I must say it was an incredible experience. Let's go, Red Sox!) or thrift stores (which are really rare to find in Spain). I just discovered that I love thrifting clothes, and vintage items as well very recently.

By the moment, I'll be leaving you some pictures I've been taking of the city and a quick webcam test, so you can put a face on me!
